Joshua 10:31

And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish ,.... Which, according to Bunting F4 Travels of the Patriarchs, &c.; p. 96. , was eight miles from Libnah, and twenty miles from Jerusalem to the southwest of this city; see Joshua 10:5 ,

and encamped against it, and fought against it ; for it seems this city stood out, and would not surrender at once, which obliged Joshua to encamp about it, and besiege it.
